Definitions
- the present invention in general falls within the field of immunology. More specifically, the invention concerns monoclonal antibodies directed against the HA (hemagglutinin) antigen of the influenza A virus.
- influenza virus epidemics represent an important cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world.
- United States of America it is estimated that more than 200,000 people are hospitalized each year for syndromes connected to influenza viruses, with about 40,000 deaths more or less directly related thereto (Thompson et al., JAMA, 2003, 289:179-186).
- Thompson et al. JAMA, 2003, 289:179-186.
- the only available prophylactic/therapeutic aid would be to resort to the two available classes of antiviral drugs: the M2 protein inhibitors (amantadine and rimantadine), and the neuraminidase inhibitors (osel- tamivir and zanamivir).
- the M2 protein inhibitors amantadine and rimantadine
- the neuraminidase inhibitors osel- tamivir and zanamivir
- An alternative effective strategy could be based on neutralizing antibody preparations directed against critical viral proteins and capable of recognizing portions of such proteins which are shared among the different isolates of influenza viruses.
- influenza viruses belong to the Orthomyxoviridae family and are characterized by the presence of an envelope derived from infected cell membranes, on which approximately 500 spikes are present, also referred to as projections.
- projections consist of trimers and tetramers from two important viral surface proteins: hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA).
- HA hemagglutinin
- NA neuraminidase
- An integral membrane protein (M2) is also found on the envelope surface, which protein is present in much lower numbers compared to hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, and also organized in tetramers.
- influenza virus is further characterized by the presence, within the core, of a segmented genome comprised of 8 single stranded RNA fragments. Based on the features of some proteins within the virion (NP and Ml), three influenza virus types are recognizable: type A, type B, and type C.
- Type A and type B viruses are responsible for the annual epidemics. Instead, type C viruses are responsible for less severe syndromes. Within type A viruses (the only ones responsible for pandemics and capable of causing the most severe syndromes even during annual epidemics), different subtypes are also recognizable based on the antigenic features of hemagglutinin and neuraminidase.
- the subtypes that have affected humans in the course of recent history are subtypes HlNl and H3N2 (still circulating at present and contained in vaccine preparations), as well as subtype H2N2, no longer circulating since 1968 and responsible for the so called "Asiatic" flu in 1957.
- Other subtypes have sporadically affected humans (H9N2, H7N7, and the so dreaded recent H5N1 subtype), but they have not succeeded in spreading effectively and displacing the circulating subtypes.
- hemagglutinin is the protein that allows the virus to recognize the sialic acid present on the surface of some cells, and to infect them. Instead, neuraminidase operates at the end of the viral replication cycle, that is during the release of new virus particles from the infected cells. Its function is to assist the release of hemagglutinin of the newly formed virions from the sialic acid present on the surface of the cell that produced them.
- the key role played by these two proteins, as well as their display on the virus surface explain why they represent the main target of the immune response, and why they are susceptible to a high rate of mutation.
- the annual epidemics are caused by viruses that are more or less different from the ones of the previous years, and therefore are more or less effectively able to escape the immune response they stimulated.
- the progressive accumulation of point mutations in hemagglutinin (mostly) and neuraminidase (secondarily) makes the protective antibodies, produced in the course of previous epidemics, on the whole progressively ineffective.
- the main protective role within the anti-influenza immune response is played by the humoral component.
- Antibodies exert their protective role primarily interfering with the binding of hemagglutinin to sialic acid, thereby preventing infection of the cells.
- Such a selective pressure determines the high rate of mutation in hemagglutinin.
- Sequence studies performed on H3 hemagglutinin subtype from 1968 through 1999 have revealed a total of 101 amino acid mutations (on a total of approximately 560 amino acids), with an average of about 3.5 mutations per year. 60% of mutations which occurred in the studied period were retained in the circulating viruses the following year too, indicative of the persistence of an immune-mediated selective pressure.
- HOMOLOGOUS IMMUNITY related to the individual isolate. This type of immunity is always seen after an infection or a vaccination, but it provides a very limited protection against other isolates.
- HOMOSUBTYPE IMMUNITY related to isolates belonging to the same subtype. This type of immunity is often seen after an infection or a vaccination, but is lost when the mutation rate in hemagglutinin and/or neuraminidase increases considerably.
- HETEROSUBTYPE IMMUNITY related to isolates belonging to different subtypes. This type of immunity is extremely rare both in case of natural infection and in case of vaccination. From the strategic point of view, it is the most important immunity, as its presence and stimulation would be equivalent to the resistance to infection by every type A influenza virus.
- mice depleted of CD8 lymphocytes are still able to display a het- erosubtype immunity, in contrast with mice depleted of the type B lymphocyte component (Nguyen HH, J Inf. Dis. 2001, 183: 368-376).
- An even more recent study has confirmed this data, highlighting a crucial role of antibodies, even if not neutralizing, directed precisely against epitopes that are conserved among the different subtypes (Rangel-Moreno et al. The J of Immunol, 2008, 180: 454-463).
- one object of the present invention is to provide a monoclonal antibody, preferably human or humanized, reactive against the different subtypes of the influenza A virus.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a monoclonal antibody, preferably human or humanized, with neutralizing activity towards multiple subtypes of the influenza A virus.
- Such an antibody would be an effective means of prevention when administered to patients at risk. Furthermore, the use of a human or humanized monoclonal antibody for human patients would give a further advantage, as the antibody would certainly be well tolerated.
- the monoclonal antibody with the above-mentioned features could represent a key factor for the design of innovative vaccines capable of inducing an extremely more effective, protective and broad-range immunity, compared to that induced by the currently used vaccines.
- the present inventors have surprisingly succeeded in providing monoclonal antibodies with the above-mentioned desirable features.
- a first object of the present invention is a monoclonal antibody directed against the hemagglutinin antigen of the influenza A virus, characterized by being able to bind multiple subtypes of the influenza A virus.

- the monoclonal antibodies of the invention can also be advantageously used as diagnostic reagents in an in vitro method for the detection of anti-influenza A virus antibodies with identical or similar neutralizing properties in a biological sample previously obtained from ⁇ a patient (such as for example a serum, plasma, blood sample or any other suitable biological material).
- Anti-influenza A virus antibodies with identical or similar neutralizing properties are antibodies that display a heterosubtype cross-neutralizing activity versus the influenza A virus. These antibodies may be found in the biological sample from the patient as a result of a previous exposure to an influenza A virus, or because the patient had been previously administered a monoclonal antibody of the invention for therapeutic or prophylactic or research purposes.

- the cells were detached from the flask and washed twice in PBS.
- the cell pellets were then suspended in 300 ⁇ l of lysis solution (10OmM NaCl, 10OmM Tris pH 8 and 0.5% Triton-X) and stored in ice for 20 minutes.
- the cell debris were centrifuged away at lOOOOg for 5 minutes and the supernatant was stored at -20°C as a protein extract.
- the preparation of the control antigen non-infected cells were treated in the same way.
- the supernatant protein concentration was determined in duplicate using the BCATM Protein Assay Kit (Pierce).
- sample protein dosage was determined by referring to a standard curve obtained by a series of known-concentration dilutions of bovine serum albumin (BSA). The absorbance of every sample was measured with a spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 540nm. The lysates so obtained were then used (300 ng per well) to coat an ELISA plate (COSTAR) that was incubated at 4°C overnight. The following day, the plate was washed with distilled water and blocked with PBS/1% BSA (Sigma) for 45 minutes at 37°C. Then, 40 ⁇ l of supernatant from each clone were added to each well, which were incubated for 1 hour at 37°C.

- the genes encoding for the monovalent Fab chains capable of reacting with the influenza virus were cloned into a prokaryotic expression vector. This allows to avoid problems due to instability of antibody-producing cell clones, to better characterize the encoding genes from the molecular point of view, in order to have molecules that are certainly monoclonal at one's disposal, as well as increased amounts of each individual antibody.
- the messanger RNA was extracted from the cultured clones and reverse transcribed using an oligo-dT according to methods per se known.

- the so obtained cDNAs were then cloned into an expression vector per se known, designated as pCb3/CAF (Burioni et al, J. Imm. Meth, 1988).
- the gene (amplified DNA) encoding the heavy chain Fd portion of each Fab was digested with restriction enzymes Xhol and Spel (Roche) for 1.5 hours at 37°C, and subsequently inserted into the vector's cloning site for heavy chains, in turn digested with the same enzymes.
- the light chains (amplified DNA) were digested with enzymes Sad and Xbal (Roche) and cloned into the vector similarly digested.
- the cells were lysed by heat shock (3 freeze/thawing rounds, at -80°C and 37°C, respectively) and then centrifuged to separate the cell debris from the Fab-containing supernatant.

- the plates were washed 5 times with PBS, and the unspecific binding sites were blocked with 3% albumin in PBS for 1 hour at 37°C. After removal of the blocking solution, the supernatants of the cell cultures treated as described above and containing the soluble Fabs were added thereto, followed by an incubation step at 37°C for 2 hours. After 10 washing cycles with PBS/0.05% Tween 20, 40 ⁇ l of a 1:700 dilution of a polyclonal preparation of radish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti- human Fab immunoglobulins (Sigma) in PBS/1% BSA was added thereto.

- AU the assayed clones displayed reactivity towards the lysates obtained from the infected cells.
- One bacterial clone transformed with an expression vector containing a gene pair encoding the light chain of a human antibody and the heavy chain Fd fragment was thus selected for each of the cross-reactive monoclonals.
- Such bacterial clones are able to produce human Fabs capable of binding both the isolate A/PR/8/34 (HlNl) and the isolate A/PC/1/73 (H3N2). These clones (with the relative gene pairs) were named INF4, INF16, INF28, INF39, INF43 and INF47.
- clones cross-reactive clones
- Fabs cross-reactive clones
- clones immunoafflnity purified with columns composed of a sepharose resin containing the protein G ( ⁇ 2 mg/ml), to which a polyclonal preparation of goat antibodies capable of binding human Fabs (PIERCE, Illinois) was covalently linked.
- a single colony of each clone was inoculated into 10 ml of SB medium containing ampicillin and tetracycline at 50 ⁇ g/ml and lO ⁇ g/ml, respectively.
- the culture which was grown overnight at 37°C, was sub-inoculated into a flask with 500 ml of SB added with the same concentration of antibiotics as before.
- the cells subsequently induced by ImM IPTG, were left shaking overnight at 30°C.
- the culture was centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 25 minutes and the pellet resuspended in PBS was sonicated. A further centrifuga- tion at 18,000 rpm for 25 minutes was necessary in order to remove the cell debris.
- the supernatant was filtered, and then it was slowly passed through the above-described sepharose column.
- the cross-reactive anti-influenza Fabs were also analyzed by an immunofluorescence assay. Briefly, the cells from the infected cultures were trypsinized and, after two washes in PBS, counted under a microscope with a hematocytometer. The cell suspension was thus used for the preparation of slides by cen- trifugation in a cytocentrifuge (Cytospin4, Shandon Southern Products) at 90 g for 3 minutes. The so prepared slides each contained a total of 2 x 10 5 cells. Control slides were prepared similarly with uninfected cells.
- the cells were then fixed and permeabilized at room temperature with a methanol-acetone solution (used at the temperature of -20°C) for 10 minutes. After 3 washes in PBS, the cells were incubated with the different clones (100 ⁇ g/ml) for 30 minutes at 37°C in a humid chamber and subsequently washed three times in PBS. The cells were then incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C in the humid chamber in the dark with a fluoresceine isothiocyanate-conjugated goat Fab (Sigma) diluted 1 :200 in Evans Blue. The slides were examined under a fluorescence microscope (Olympus). A commercial mouse monoclonal (Argene) specific for the Ml influenza virus protein was used as a positive control.
- TCID 50 the dose that infects 50% of the cell culture
- TCID 50 infectivitv> 50% - 50% x dilution factor infectivity>50% - infectivity ⁇ 50%

- M.O.I. multiplicity of infection
- MDCK cells were seeded in a 24-well plate, with each well containing a sterile slide.
- the neutralization experiment was performed on 80%-90% confluent cells, i.e. about 48 hours after the seeding thereof. Dilutions of the purified Fab fragments were then prepared, so as to attain 2.5 ⁇ g/ml, 5 ⁇ g/ml, lO ⁇ g/ml and 20 ⁇ g/ml final concentrations for each antibody.
- Corresponding dilutions of the e509 anti- HCV antibody were prepared as a negative control.
- the various Fab concentrations were then incubated with the same volume of diluted virus stock (M.O.I.: 0.01) for 1 hour at 37°C. 250 ⁇ l of the virus-Fab mix were subsequently added to the wells containing the cells.
- a positive control for the infection was achieved by adding the culture medium alone to the virus stock.
- the plate was incubated for 1 hour at 37°C in order to allow the non- neutralized virus to adsorb.
- the inoculum was then removed and the cells were washed twice with PBS. 1.5 ml of serum-free medium with 1 ⁇ g/ml trypsin were added to each well.
- the cell monolayer was washed with PBS and fixed with a cold methanol-acetone solution (1 :2 ratio, stored at -20°C) for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- the fixed cells were washed and incubated with 250 ⁇ l of a commercial monoclonal anti-Mi antibody (Argene) for 30 minutes at 37 0 C in a humid chamber.
- the cells were washed with PBS and finally incubated with a fluoresceine-conjugated goat anti- mouse antibody, diluted in Evans blue, for 30 minutes at 37°C in a humid chamber in the dark. After three washes in PBS, the slides were finally examined under a fluorescence microscope.
- the Fabs' neutralizing activity was determined by counting the single positive cells and calculating the percentage decrease in the number of infected cells, compared to the positive control infected with the virus alone.
- the neutralization assays were carried out in three separate sessions for each Fab. Particularly, each clone was assayed against the two different reference type A influenza strains and the reference type B strain mentioned previously. In each experiment, the different Fab dilutions were repeated in triplicate, similarly to what performed for the negative (Fab e509 anti-E2/HCV) and positive (virus and medium without Fabs) controls of infection.
- the Fab produced by clone INF28 showed a he- terotype cross-neutralizing activity against the type A virus isolates. Instead, no reduction was detected with regard to the infecting ability of type B virus used in the study, confirming the specificity of the neutralizing activity observed, hi particular, the Fab produced by clone INF28 (called Fab 28) showed an IC 50 (the Fab concentration that inhibits 50% of infection by the virus isolate assayed) below 5 ⁇ g/ml in the case of subtype HlNl and of approximately 10 ⁇ g/ml in the case of subtype H3N2, i.e.
- Figures 1 to 3 summarize the results obtained with Fab 28, produced by clone INF28, in the different neutralization sessions performed on the various influenza virus isolates used in the study. Particularly, Figure 1 is a graph that illustrates the neutralization percentage of the virus A/PR/8/34 (HlNl) by different Fab 28 concentrations. The results obtained with the human e509 anti-HCV Fab are reported as a negative control.
- Figure 2 is a graph that illustrates the neutralization percentage of the virus A/PC/ 1/73 (H3N2) by different Fab 28 concentrations. The results obtained with the human e509 anti-HCV Fab are reported as a negative control.
- Figure 3 is a graph that illustrates the neutralization percentage of the virus B/Lee/40 by different Fab 28 concentrations. The results obtained with the human e509 anti-HCV Fab are reported as a negative control.
- the membrane was then blocked for 1 hour with 5% dried milk dissolved in IX PBS and thereafter washed three times in IX PBS - 0.1% Tween. During each wash, the membrane was left shaking on a swinging platform for 10 minutes. After which, the different Fabs, diluted in PBS with 5% dried milk, were added at the concentration of 5 ⁇ g/ml. Besides Fab 28, the following controls were added: e509 as a negative control; commercial mouse anti-HA whole IgGl (COVANCE); commercial mouse anti-Mi whole IgGl (ARGENE); mouse an- ti-M2 whole IgGl (ABCAM); human serum diluted 1:200. Each antibody was left shaking for 1 hour at room temperature.
- COVANCE commercial mouse anti-HA whole IgGl
- ARGENE commercial mouse anti-Mi whole IgGl
- ABCAM mouse an- ti-M2 whole IgGl
- the membrane was washed again in PBS as described earlier.
- the same secondary mouse (1:1000) or human (1:2000) antibodies as described for the ELISA assay were then added, depending on the source of the antibody to be detected.
- a working solution was prepared by mixing two substrates (SuperSignal® West Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate Pierce) in a 1 : 1 ratio, being particularly careful not to expose it to sources of light.
- the nitrocellulose membrane was incubated for 5 minutes with the working solution and then removed and mounted in a HyperCassette (AMERSHAM). This was developed on a Kodak X-ray film in the dark room after the necessary exposure time.
- the described assay was performed in two different sessions, and in each of them the membrane portion incubated with Fab 28 showed the presence of a band weighing slightly less than 80 KDa, consistent with the weight of the immature form of the viral hemagglutinin (HAO). This was confirmed by the same band being also displayed on the strip incubated with the anti-hemagglutinin control antibody. An analogous band, more intense than the others, was also detected in the membrane portion incubated with human serum. The result of this experiment shows that the antibody is directed against the influenza virus hemagglutinin, perfectly consistent with the neutralization data, since hemagglutinin is known to be the target of the immune neutralizing antibody response.
- Neutralization assays were carried out by using the plaque assay technique to assess more accurately the neutralizing activity of Fab 28. Firstly, preparations of virus isolates, subtypes HlNl and H3N2, were quantified by plaque assay with the following protocol. MDCK cells were cultured in six-well plates (Costar) in MEM medium supplemented with penicillin and streptomycin (pen/strep), and enriched with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). After the cell monolayer had reached 100% confluence, the wells were washed with PBS and fresh MEM culture medium supplemented with the same antibiotics (pen/strep) and trypsin (1 ⁇ g/ml) was added thereto.
- pen/strep penicillin and streptomycin
- FBS fetal bovine serum
- a neutralization mix was thus prepared, which comprised the virus (100 TCID50 per well) and different concentrations of the Fabs that were used (Fab 28 and control Fab).
- the assay was performed by testing different concentrations of Fabs (20, 10, 5 and 2.5 ⁇ g/ml) against 100 TCID 50 of the diverse influenza virus strains. The virus/Fab mixtures were then incubated for 1 hour at 34°C under a 5% CO 2 atmosphere.
- the pre-incubated preparations were transferred into the wells having a 100% confluent cell monolayer, then were incubated for 1 hour at 34°C under a 5% CO 2 atmosphere.
- the assay was carried out and interpreted as described previously, by comparing the number of plaques obtained in the presence of Fab 28 with those obtained in the presence of the same concentration of the control Fab.
- the assays were performed using the following influenza isolates belonging to subtypes
- Fab 28 resulted capable of recognizing the protein only in Western blot assays performed under semi-native conditions (0.1% SDS). The same experiments had also pointed out the ability of Fab in recognizing only the immature form of the protein (HAO), but not the individual subunits (HAl and HA2). Hemagglutination inhibition assays (HAI) had been carried out in parallel, with both chicken erythrocytes and human erythrocytes. Despite the remarkable neutralizing activity, Fab 28 proved to have no HAI activity, suggesting that it did not bind residues implicated in the binding between hemagglutinin and sialic acid.
- HAI Hemagglutination inhibition assays
- the epitope is localized on the stem region of hemagglutinin, that is in a portion between regions HAl and HA2 (data perfectly consistent with the results achieved in the Western Blot and HAI assays).
- the residues critical for the binding which were identified are the following: W357 and T358 on region HA2; N336; 1337; P338 on region HAl (the numbering of the residues refers to the hemagglutinin sequence from the isolate H1N1/A/PR/8/34 present in the BLAST database) (SEQ ID N0:5).
- the assay by the escape mutants was carried out by serial infections of MDCK cells with 100 TCID50 of HlNl/A/PR/8/34 virus in the presence of 10 ⁇ g/ml of Fab 28, i.e. a Fab concentration equivalent to its IC90 against the isolate in question. Only after numerous passages, it was possible to detect infection of the cells in the presence of the Fab, indicative of a mutation occurred in the virus genome. In fact, escape mutants mutated in two residues of region HA2, 1361 and D362, were selected, which are adjacent to the region identified by the in silico approach, confirming the hypothesis that this is the region recognized by Fab 28.
